Where has the Run and Shoot Gone?

I think we maybe need to shrink the playbook again for the next couple of weeks...

Padron looks like he is thinking way to much...His arm also looks weaker than I thought...which could be a confidence issue as well...

agreed.
good thing Zach is feeling it....and, Wash St is next.

I focused on the WRs all nite-there is a problem not only getting off the line but failing to work hard after the original route. I suspected that was the case at Texas Tech too

yeah, I saw when you said that earlier. first, I'm really jealous (trapped in channelsurfing), and second, I trust your eyes. the glimpses I got from the broadcast gave me the feeling that they may not be as physical or proficient as we would hope (man, really miss Emmanuel). maybe, that's affecting the processing time for KP? hopefully, they'll all grow as the season progresses.

ALdrick is not ES...I don't want to call him a dog, but....

DJ will be a player but needs to be more consistent....

Haynes is taking cues from aldrick...

Beasily works very hard...

Sanders worked his [deleted] off trying to find space and he had a live body and could change direction on a dime. I've seen Darius do the same thing in multiple highlites from high school. He needs to keep working hard until the whistle because that's where the big plays will come

This.

Unfortunately, Haynes was completely invisible the whole game. Disappointing after his good game at Tech.

[kull]

they need to consistently beat press coverage and finish. the option and choice routes all need work. guys needs to get over the gitters, hit the skeleton drills, work with the jugs after practice. Padron needs to place the ball better: through the ear, correct shoulder, with more spin. He isn't setting up efficiently. He is seeing the field better than he thinks he does. growing pains, again.

I remarked that this might be a problem. Expanding too much too soon thinking he had it all under control.

Shrinking the playbook might not be a bad idea.
We should be fine against Wazzu, but we will not fare well against TCU if our passing woes continue.

The Biggest concern about last nite's game is how few times Padron was able to quickly make his reads and deliver the ball. The Inside Receivers are not getting open. None of the receivers are working hard enough after the first read. Emanuel Sanders never stopped working to get open-I'd give SMU's receivers very low grades and I focused on them all nite long. If they are that tired they need to get substitutes in to give them a breather. I bet the most frustrating thing about SMU so far to Jones is his inability to install his own offense in the third year of his tenure.

might have something to do with wrs not making grades

[GoRedGoBlue]

last week Kp was simply off

recall the wide open wr he underthrew for an int.

And at least 3 swing passes he over lead the wr


This week seemed better but he did underlead dj on wheel route that cost a fd opp

point is qb play more at fault tech, but bad wr execution at fault this game. Dropped balls etc

I watched on the al gore channel so I didn't see but certainly accept stallions observations


I too be concerned with passing game



Then again, do what the d gives you, and likely both games the planned against our best wr probably joking about out white fb rb

Ya think? Maybe you should help him.

[Longtime]

When I was paying attention, UAB was only rushing three and making Padron try to find an open receiver. That's actually more difficult for the QB in this kind of offense than blitzing him. Makes him think and read, rather than simply hit the hot route.

BTW: You all do know that Eric Schumann is UAB's defensive coordinator, don't you? That guy knows a thing or two about a thing or two. He's the only DC we've ever had who could teach our guys to stop the option. I bet that rascal knows how to slow down a Run and Shoot, too.
